Overview
In partnership with HealthImpact, a nursing workforce center, HASC is establishing academic-practice partnerships to develop nursing specialty education courses. Topics will focus on perioperative, critical care, emergency, labor and delivery, neonatal ICU, case manager and care coordinator.
This year, HASC and HealthImpact are pleased to bring the California Registered Nurse (RN) Specialty Apprenticeship Program to Ventura County. Learn about the program, which starts in Sept. 2025, at an online info session Thursday, March 6, at 11 a.m. Pacific Time: Register here
The transition-to-practice program supports nurses new to practice, or the ambulatory specialty, through their first year working in ambulatory clinics. Under a preceptor, RNs will receive on-the-job, employer-paid experience along with evidence-based supplemental learning.
Courses will provide content and immersive clinical education time to prepare both new graduate RNs and experienced nurses transitioning to new roles. Through the South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB) and Los Angeles Basin Region Workforce Development Boards, HASC received funding to offer perioperative specialty courses together with area nursing programs. The first courses, in 2018, trained 17 RNs at eight LA County hospitals to become perioperative nurses.
